tome (n.)   

 

in its most common use today, is "a large, heavy book," 



and its ponderous (笨重的,沈悶的) overtones (弦外之音) usually refer as much to the contents as to the physical size of the thing itself. 



The word is sometimes pretentious and often hyperbolic too.





　　

The Weinstein Co. and MGM have cut short their distribution deal by three months, with TWC taking back seven films to release on its own between now and the end of the year.



They include Kevin Smith's "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," which opens Oct. 31, and the [big]screen adaptation of Cormac McCarthy['s] haunting tome ["The Road]," which unspools Nov. 14.

Per the terms of the early exit, MGM will still release two titles from TWC's Dimension Films -- Bernie Mac-Samuel L. Jackson comedy "Soul Men," opening Nov. 7, and Christmas Day sports drama "Hurricane Season," toplining Forest Whitaker.

The three-year distribution deal between MGM and Harvey and Bob Weinstein's TWC was set to expire Dec. 31. The decision to [exit] the agreement early came after TWC signed its own pay TV output deal with Showtime, instead of relying on MGM's Showtime deal, a main impetus (衝力) for the pairing with MGM.

"This transition was always anticipated and now it has been ami[c]ably [executed]," the Weinstein Co. said in a statement.
